The Climate and Trump, In Our Face

IT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED by a government agency responsible for climate research that over the next five years the Earth's atmosphere will continue warming, as it has been doing for centuries, ever since the industrial revolution in the late eigtheenth century. By 2029 the average global temperatures will have, say the scientists, risen sufficiently to reach and perhaps surpass the absolute maximum allowable, beyond which there is little or no hope for reversal of global warming, aka climate change. As if we already didn't already know, say the sane. More propaganda from the radical left, say the MAGA folk. This warning, utterly predictable, we should perhaps value excessively; it may be the last we ever have, at least for a very long while. Anything having to do with resrach to and response to climate change by the government is now being or already has been decimated, truncated, destroyed. WE the American peple are now governed by people who have chosen to deny the reality of climate change, and intend to spend not a single enny more trying to understand it and do something about it. Were I live, in the American mid south, the pattern is for it to rain for, say, several days in a row, drenching our region with a deluge of flood water, as the rain pours down...day after day....week after week, incessantly.. Then, the rain stops, and the drought begins. Always the annual drought(s), day after day, week after week, usually but always in summer, no fewer than once and usually twice a year, as the trees turn brown in August. Ianticipate teh day when the hilly heavily wooded area where I live has eutrophied into prairie, grass lands stretching in all directions to the horizon. My current is that we teh human species will find a way to curtail and reverse cliamte change, most likely by fully developing a technology for removing carbon directly from the air, a technology which already exists but only in primitive, rudimentary form. Our ability to accomplish this is still quite limited; huge amounts of effort and energy are required to remove even a small amount of carbon, but that will change. Carbon sequestration facilites are being built, the process is being refined and improved, much like clean energy production. Climate change has already caused much human suffering, with much more to come. To avoid global catastrophe,we must accelerate our efforts. That is why the fact that many people still refuse to acknowledge climate change becomes more amazing the day. It, and its effects on our daily lives,are literally hitting us in the face. Even more amazingly, shockingly, nightmarishly, the climate deniers have gotten control of the United States government, and seemingly will have it for almost four more years. This seemingly suicidal government has already almost completely dismantled all government research and response to cliamte change, through this sheer, insane denial. The majority of Americans who oppose Trump have many valid claims to make against him. the financial corruption, dishonesty, barbarity, and so forth. But too few people protest his climate change denial. Arguably, this is his most horrible, criminal act of all. Fortunately, much can be done about the climate by the private business sector and universities, unless, of coure, the current government is successful in its attack on the economic and educational systems.
